[APP] Qualcomm Snapdragon BatteryGuru

_Epic · Feb 21, 2013

Qualcomm released an app for anyone with Snapdragon that will extend your battery life and monitor what you do to better control the processes. I just downloaded it and it is in "Learning mode" so I will be excited to see how much savings I get when it has learned and starts saving.

How is this different than the stock connections optimizer?

The optimizer finds the best connection strength between wifi and cell.
This app controls the cpu.
Opps..my bad. So to correct my above statement in a nutshell... the optimizer just doesn't work as good as it does on other phones. Guess I should have read the article first instead of assuming.

I installed this a couple days ago and have noticed a difference in battery life. I would say it's definitely worth a spin if you haven't tried it.

Has anyone noticed any increase reboots and shut downs? I've updated integer solar bit this is the only one that purports to do anything with how the phone works.

Wow you're right. I've been getting a lot of kernel crashes ever since I installed the app. I haven't installed anything new.

Totally normal.

Also, I haven't had a single crash. I'm running Lifeless ROM and haven't had an issues, but have noticed increased battery life.

So I'm running this app now and my data at work is faster than wifi and I'm on 3G so this is sad lol but I'm pretty sure the app keeps turning wifi on. :/

Tried it. It's pretty much worthless. Turns off wifi when away from your access points, which is cool. Otherwise, all it does is prevent your major apps from updating to a varying degree. It's better to just control this yourself in app settings and "Accounts and Sync" settings. I think the app was designed with people who don't have a clue about Android sync settings in mind. For the type of person who spends time reading Android forums, it's a waste of time. Sorry

If you do choose to use it, be aware that depending on the setting you or it chooses for Gmail, push notifications may not work.

Incorrect. This app has nothing to do with CPU. It automates turning on/off wifi, and blocks or reduces syncing for various major apps.

Thanks, Epic! Love this app for myself, and I tell customers at work about it now, they love that there is a trustworthy app that can save battery life

I've stopped using it as all it did was stop my syncing and turn Wi-Fi on and off. These are things that most users here control pretty well already.
